Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
Keep Tam Valley Strong! I have served on the TCSD Board since 2004 and the district has never looked better: running popular events such as Creekside Fridays, operating a service-first garbage collection system, and keeping our sewer network flowing.
The next few years will present new challenges, requiring thoughtful and experienced leadership:The post-pandemic restart of our community-building Parks and Recreation programs, an accelerated construction program to renew the leakiest parts of our sewer infrastructure, and addressing the increasing regulations as our state government moves toward the goal of Zero Waste.While navigating these challenges, I will continue to advocate for innovative ideas that keep our expenditures as low as possible.This is a key role of being a Board Director – we don’t serve the agency or the staff – we serve you, our rate payers.
